Supernatural's back, baby!

Tonight was the season premiere of Supernatural, and I loved it. Even though it wasn't as action packed as previous episodes, I still thought it was fantastic. And, in the ongoing battle for the title of hotter Winchester, tonight, Jensen Ackles has taken the lead. But don't worry, Jared, I still love you.

BACK WITH A VENGENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOVED it. Kripke said that he'd never seen a group of writers so anxious and excited to write as his were this season and I totally believe him. They set up an amazing dynamic. I'd have so much fun playing around in that world.

Taken the lead? Um, Jensen has been in the lead since day one.

Sam might be pretty, but Dean's the one who qualifies as "hottie."

Jesus, I just turned into a twelve year old girl.

I personally LOVE the character of Dean more than anything but he has long been a supporting character in a series that followed Sam's arc and overriding identity crisis. The premier elevates Dean to a level where he is relevant and not just relevant BECAUSE he's close to Sam and allows the series to come together to be about THEM and their respective journey's and dependence on each other. The seasons go back on forth (2 focusing on Sam primariyl and 3 focusing on Dean). It's brilliant

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

^^Yeah, it's not just Dean having to look out for baby brother Sammy, anymore. But this angle they have going on now is rather interesting. Sam is being guided in the use of his powers (p.s.--how awesome was it to see Sam exorcise that demon with just his mind?) by the demon Ruby; and Dean has been liberated from hell by the Angel Castiel. Are they gonna have the brothers go toe to toe--one on the side of heaven, the other the champion of hell?

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

I vote that in episode 3, they discover Nik2, their long lost brother, at a haunted college campus. He could be Ellen's son by John--she sent him away so that he would not be wrapped up in "the business."

The show needs a hot bisexual brother.

Precisely they're angling them to lead opposite sides and at the same time they're keeping them together by their intrinsic brotherly bond and more importantly they're both lying to each other. Sam more implicitly than Dean. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Ruby is back

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

arent u forgetting the hot angel? misha collins

i wish they would have brought the original ruby back, i liked her better, stupid budget problems!

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

This was prolly the best Season Premiere so far this season. Everything was so unexpected but turned out perfectly. I loved the funny little nod to Wincest fans when Sam and Dean reunite. I do like Katie Cassidy better as Ruby but it makes sense that she had to get a new body because of all the damage to the old one. It sucks that the budget is always getting cut it seems like there are so many fans of this show and they are hardcore. Seems like CW puts all their eggs in stupid Gossip Girl.

HELLS YEAH!!! dropped my bowl when he said her name. still wish Katie had the role though. i swear to God this show is the best on tv right now...you can't help but get pulled into it. next week's episode looks pretty sweet. it'd be even better if Bela showed up....LOVED that girl!!! Jensen's looking hot as ever. someone's been hittin' the gym. Jared's always hot too but, his ginormous forehead kinda creeped me out last night.

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

You know I was really not a fan of Katie for most of Season 3 but she did a hella job in Malleus Maleficarum and No Rest For The Wicked and it was like GREAT kill her off just when I start to like her!

As for Bela she would've been a good recurring character but was forced too heavily on the show. Kripke never intended to use her but for 2 or 3 episodes but the CW execs wanted a second female regular so they forced her in quite a few places. I doubt she'll be back in any form.

Deanie is way pretty, but I prefer a manly lookin' man---And Sammy is one fine lookin' man---*heavy sigh*

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

It was actually a pretty decent premiere. To be honest I was hoping for at least one episode without Dean, but I knew they were going to cop-out and bring him back right away.

The story looks interesting and I like that they introduced the Seraphim right away instead of wasting half a season leaving us guessing as to what it is.

The one thing I didn't like was the new actress playin Ruby. She's just bad.

an episode without Dean?! dude...why would you say something like that? you know what? Begone...

just kidding. that was a pretty twisted thing of you to say though

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

The show relies too heavily on the same dynamic (although they do seem to be turning it around a little this season). An episode about Sam after Dean's death would have shaken things up a bit.

I'm hoping for a flashback along the way to fill in the 4 month gap.

You just can't have one of the characters absent in a show where there are only TWO main characters. In say Buffy they had the supporting cast to hold up episodes without Buffy but that's just not the nature of a show like Supernatural.

Also I always refer to Supernatural as "A Long Days Journey Into Night" meets "The Ghostbusters." Sup shares the same semi-cyclical dynamic as Long Days (The families recurring problem with vengance, Sam's inability to escape his innately evil tendencies, Dean's inability to ever see himself as more than just an extension of his family, etc) but in BOTH Long Days and Supernatural these problems aren't portrayed in repetitive ways but in realistic problems and pitfalls the family dynamic forces the characters into. Much like how Dean clearly identified that Sam was his weakness and that they need to stop reacting so radically when it comes to their safety (No Rest For The Wicked) but his deep emotional response prevent him from acting on the logical identification of his problem. It's really a wonderful dynamic. They nail the family issue down incredibly well. I once heard someone say that if the metaphorical idea of Buffy is that Highschool is Hell than that of Supernatural is that Family is Hell.

We will definitely be getting an upcoming episode where Dean starts experiencing some more flashbacks of his time in Hell. Sera Gamble, a writer and producer of the show, confirms as much in this article at newsarama:

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

Great premiere, but I don't like the new Ruby, either.

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

Great premiere, but I don't like the new Ruby, either.

They just don't seem to be really good at casting strong, young, attractive females who hang around. The pyschic actress made an instant impression--she had spunk and fire (no pun intended), but alas, we probably won't be seeing her again.

Of course, she won't be seeing her again either.

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

For the most part I usually don't like the women characters in Supernatural. I don't know why, but the writers seem incapable of creating decent female characters, and they rarely keep any of them around long enough to let them develop.

I thought they did really well with Ellen, and I loved Meg too (although she was a demon). They need better recurring females.

It's because Ellen, Meg, and Ruby were the only organic recurring females. Both Bela and Jo were forced upon them by network demands and it shows. Samantha Ferris (who portrays Ellen) actually wrote a blog on her official website about how she was very disappointed that she wasn't going to be in season 3 because the network wants young, hot girls.

Also I LOVED LOVED LOVED Loretta Devine as psychic Missouri Mosely in "Home" (Season 1). I was so sure that they were setting her up to be a recurring regular I don't know why they didn't bring her back but my suspicion is it might have to do with Mrs. Devine's busy availabilty because Lord knows she's in everything.

Re: Supernatural's back, baby!

Yea the female characters are pretty rotten. The girl who used to be Harmony on Buffy was ok and the cougar who turned out to be a werewolf that Sam fucked that time was good as well. It's like they try to make every girl be over the top sexy and not just a normal girl who happens to be sexy.

I like Sam better than Dean because Dean's personality makes him unnattractive. He always calls every female demon a bitch and a whore and goes out of his way to degrade them sexually. Like when he slapped that girl demon last night then tossed money in her face like she was a hooker. He always does shit like that. I know this isnt the
PC police but it is so offputting to see him act like that all the time. But that being said i do love both actors' acting.
